Harness Security Testing Orchestration vs Strobes ASPM

Harness Security Testing Orchestration is a cloud, web service for coordinating application security testing. It brings findings together with deduplication, risk-based prioritization and remediation workflows. Policy gates connect security decisions to workflow controls, while ticketing sync links findings with ticketing processes. Harness lists Essentials and Enterprise plans, both billed through Contact Sales, with pricing on request. Essentials allows up to 500 users, one organization and five custom dashboards. Enterprise lists unlimited users, organizations and custom dashboards. A separate Free Plan is listed at free and includes Harness Open Source, Litmus Chaos and community support, although the pricing model is paid and the free plan field says no. The service runs on the web and uses cloud deployment. Harness was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Strobes ASPM brings application-security findings into a risk-prioritized view for developers and security teams. It ingests findings from SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, container scanners, penetration tests, and bug bounty programs. Risk scoring considers exploit likelihood, asset criticality, and compensating controls, with EPSS and KEV in the displayed context. In CI/CD, it can enforce security policy, block critical findings, warn on high findings, and provide feedback in pull requests. AI agents can triage and deduplicate findings, create and route tickets, track SLAs, and check fixes through rescanning. The integrations page lists more than 100 tools, including security scanners and cloud services; a GraphQL API supports querying and changing assets, findings, engagements, and assessments. Deployment options include cloud SaaS or private deployment. The free plan costs nothing and allows up to 100 assets, 500 tasks per month, and one connector. Starter costs $29,000 a year; Growth costs $45,000 a year. A 14-day trial offers access to ASM, RBVM, PTaaS, ASPM, and AI Agents, with guided onboarding by a dedicated security engineer.
